Maybe the Bucks are a playoff team as constructed, maybe they're not. But one thing is for certain:
If they dismantle their already-thin bench before the Feb. 19 trading deadline, they will give themselves no chance. They will sink like a cement-shoed stoolie.

How long will the Grizzlies allow the Milwaukee
Bucks to keep the team on hold while they
look for a better deal from Milwaukee? In my opinion it's time to tell the Bucks the deadline has passed and the Grizzlies are moving on. After all we have ...

I see it as more of being a realist
but there is now way that the rumored trade between the Bucks and Grizzlies takes place. Why? Simple. The media found out about it. When the media reports the rumor and it ...

Thursday, January 15, 2009 (1/15/2009 10:56:00 PM) - Al Mike Hunt suggests the Bucks punt common sense and keep their restricted free agents, and lose them for nothing after the season...because they have a chance at a low playoff seed. I'm used to a lack of long-term planning from casual fans, but if that is indeed the Hammonds/Skiles plan, I'm offended. ...

... Michael Hunt weighs in on the trade scuttlebut that's dogged the Bucks all week and says "don't." I agree. The luxury tax issues can be worked out over the summer, and if the Bucks are not willing to move the larger contracts (Michael Redd, Richard Jefferson) and are stuck with Dan Gadzuric, don't pretend that moving bench players is some sort of a fix. The fans deserve a team and a real direction, not a bunch of half-truth salary cap whining. 'Nuff said for now because it's time for ...
First Cup: Friday

... Michael Hunt of the Journal Sentinel: "Given the payroll mess he inherited from Larry Harris, John Hammond is in a bind. He's already performed near-miracles by unloading a ton of bad paper in Bobby Simmons and Mo Williams, but he's still stuck with Dan Gadzuric - $14 million over the next two years! - and the 12th-highest payroll in the NBA. Think about that for a minute. The Bucks are paying 15 guys who may or may not make the NBA playoffs a total of $70.6 million, not a lot less than the Brewers paid the 25 who made the far more exclusive MLB playoffs. The ...

... Michael Hunt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: “Because Villanueva and Sessions are coveted players the Bucks would lose without compensation, teams are low-balling them. They’re trying to unload junk on the Bucks because they think they have them over a barrel with Villanueva and Sessions. They’re leverging the Bucks by saying, look, if you don’t take our offer, we’ll wait until the end of the year and sign them as free agents and then you’ll get nothing. Then so be it. Even at the certainty of no return on two good players with cheap ...
